This of course confuses mirror a bit (why I had to mirror under Cygwin is another sad story :-) mw1g017@MW1G17C% ll ld-linux.so.2 -r-xr-xr-x 1 mw1g017 ITS 87036 Apr 18 10:19 ld-linux.so.2* mw1g017@MW1G17C% touch ld-linux.so.2 touch: ld-linux.so.2: Permission denied mw1g017@MW1G17C% chmod u+w ld-linux.so.2 mw1g017@MW1G17C% touch ld-linux.so.2 This is somewhat unexpected and does not correspond to Unix. Is it possible to change it or is it Windows restriction? System is WIn2kSP1, cygwin-1.3.1 TIA -andrej Have a nice DOS! B >> -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
